When I was younger I watched a television show where a girl got her period. I was watching with my older brother, so I asked him what a period was. He looked really uncomfortable and pretended like he didn't hear me. After a bit of thinking, I finally decided that a period was when a girl got boobs. Like, one day, all at once, a pair of boobs would just sprout up! And each month, around the same time, the boobs would grow just a little bit bigger until you were old and then they stopped growing and you didn't have your period anymore. I was very disappointed when I found out what a period really was years later.
